So a long search finally bears fruit.....

Hello all.

The Omega 30T2rg has, for me, always held a place on the pedestal as one of truly magnificent time-only timepieces ever created by Omega or any other house for that matter. The combination of the "scientific dial" and the iconic movement is hard to beat.

Years ago I acquired a stainless steel example with an original (albeit slightly damaged) dial, but quickly learned that these references are a bit of a hornet's nest! Seems most have redone dials, and even for those where the dial remains untouched, many were re-cased as well. My dial and movement, I learned, had been dropped into a non-chronometer, and presumably incorrect, case. I eventually sold that example at a significant discount to account for the incorrect case, and the search continued.

Fast forward a few years (and countless examples which appeared to be wrong for one reason or another), and finally a light at the end of the tunnel. I'm hesitant to post for fear of learning that my new example suffers issues just as my old did, but what the heck. I should have this one on my wrist within a few days, but for now, these scans will have to suffice.

Hope you enjoy it (and hope it's correct!).

Love this style of dial, and the center seconds may be the "purer" option for a chronometer of this type. Thanks for sharing this scan. Darren

Splendid Darren, congratulations.....

... for one of these for a long time, with no luck in my favour. In different occassions around two years ago I was offered a couple of them, but upon inspection in my hands I found the dials were redone, so I let them pass. The movements were in great sh...
